Taking a Break to Prevent Burnout
The host, Trina Haynes, shares her experience of taking a break from her podcast and other responsibilities to avoid burnout.

Trina emphasizes the need for self-care and highlights the benefits of unplugging from work and indulging in activities like reading, watching TV, and journaling. She encourages listeners who are feeling overwhelmed to prioritize their well-being and take breaks to prevent burnout.
Identifying Burnout Triggers for ADHD Entrepreneurs
Trina introduces her guest, Ari Scott, an ADHD coach for entrepreneurs, and they discuss the common theme of burnout experienced by many ADHD entrepreneurs. Ari explains that fear of responsibility and avoidance of outsourcing contribute to burnout as entrepreneurs take on too many tasks without delegating. They also mention the intense focus of ADHD entrepreneurs, which can lead to overworking for long hours without achieving significant results. They highlight the importance of balancing tasks, managing energy levels, and focusing on high-impact activities to prevent burnout.
Productivity vs. Busy-ness and the Impact on Burnout
Trina and Ari delve into the misconception of productivity among ADHD entrepreneurs. They emphasize that being busy doesn't necessarily equate to being productive and discuss how ADHD entrepreneurs often overestimate their productivity due to the enjoyment they derive from tasks. They advise entrepreneurs to shift their focus from busyness to effective energy management and prioritizing tasks that drive their business forward. They stress the importance of understanding the distinction between being busy and being truly productive to prevent burnout.
The Link Between Self-Worth and Pricing
Trina and Ari address the issue of undercharging among ADHD entrepreneurs. They discuss how fear and self-doubt often lead to setting low prices, despite the value and expertise offered. They encourage entrepreneurs to align their prices with the value they provide, recognizing that fair compensation is essential for sustainability and avoiding burnout. They emphasize the need to increase self-worth and overcome internal fears surrounding pricing to create successful, thriving businesses.
